Antihero

Think of an Antihero as a lead character who doesn't fit the standard mold. They lack the usual toolkit—idealism, traditional bravery, or a strict moral compass.

Patrick Martin said:It’s a prequel (basically covering Jimmy's early years), but what about a sequel?

So, in your eyes, has Genny already "risen" from the grave?

Olivia Reyes11 said:Is there going to be a season 5?

Patrick Martin said:For better context, I’d suggest watching the entire series. Unfortunately, it flew completely under the radar here, as usual. ☕

Joshua Kern said:Morgan Rodriguez57, let's not get carried away with nonsense. And besides, wasn't the assassination of Franz Ferdinand actually a justified, heroic act? He was nothing more than an occupier and a tyrant who used force to seize what was never rightfully his.

It wasn't Mexico that attacked the Austro-Canadian Empire; it was the other way around.

I should mention my current PC only has a single USB port,

not necessarily that specific model, but similar in design...

Grace Cruz4 said:It’s such a joke. I mean, Brad Pitt snagged that award right alongside a powerhouse like Joe Pesci, simply because he played himself in *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*. Three Golden Globes for the worst Tarantino flick ever made, and all that... It’s just blatant lobbying and pure Hollywood politics.

Gary Myers said:I started this job at the beginning of the year. It’s not high-stress, and I could see myself sticking with it long-term since it's actually somewhat interesting. The downside is that I'm officially classified as having just a high school diploma, so my pay reflects that, even though I have a college degree.

The issue is my cubicle mate. Ever since I joined, the vibe in our workspace has been "heavy"—if I can even find a better word for it. When I first started, she wouldn't even talk to me for the first couple of weeks. She’d only speak up when we needed to coordinate tasks. She told me straight up that I was the fourth new hire in a single month and she just didn't have the patience left for anyone else.

In the months since, it's been a cycle. One minute she's taking her frustrations out on me, the next she's venting at a few other people. It's hard to listen to, especially because she calls them names—not to their faces, obviously, but once they leave the room or hang up the phone. She's constantly criticizing. Because of all this, the atmosphere in our office has never felt relaxed.

During the "quiet" phases—when she's directing her anger toward others instead of me—we occasionally chat, but even then, you can feel the tension. We never actually laugh together.

She mentioned once that she's open to new ideas, but I get the feeling she actually hates it when someone suggests one. Once, she shut down an idea I had, calling it useless. I dropped it. Then, a while later, she brought up the exact same idea herself, acting like it was some brilliant concept and wondering why I hadn't thought of it.

I’m almost never included in conversations with the staff members she actually gets along with. When they come into our room, they’ll duck into another office to whisper or just close the door. And if I try to strike up a casual conversation with them, she’ll often cut me off, even though she wasn't even acknowledging my existence two hours prior.
Mostly, she only talks to them when she's gossiping about people she doesn't like.

Day by day, I'm finding it harder and harder to show up to work. I'm stuck...

For months afterward, she just kept cycling through different ways of venting her frustration directly at me.
